this great Union will, for four years,
be ruled by a man who is an admitted
perjurer and bribe-taker. The reason
geuerallv assigned for tlie defeat of

was freely used in the doubtful States,
and with the assistance of Deputy
Marshalls, the result was accomplished.
But, after watching the matter for sev

closely, we have arrived at Ihe con
